Most likely.. looks like even some moderate Dems are reticent though.. earmarks .. or pork barreling :) As much as our system up here has its flaws too.. if Trudeau were elected with a majority.. normal state of affairs.. instead of a minority government.. there would only be some ritual debate and it would pass slam dunk.. right now Mr. Trudeau in a minority position is closer to normal state of US government.. except Mr Trudeau needs really only convince one or two party leaders.. so a few earmarks are possible.. Ah.. politics.. ain't it grand lol Some times it feels like the electorate only counts at election time lol
